Tobacco ban at Chicago City Colleges

Campuses of the City Colleges of Chicago will be tobacco-free zones starting March 1.

The City Colleges' board of trustees approved the new policy Thursday. It prohibits tobacco use on all college property. The ban includes smokeless tobacco products — not just cigarettes — and affects more than 120,000 students and 5,800 faculty and staff. Visitors too will be prevented from using tobacco.
